Please list titrations you have done during your chemistry lessons/labs. What have you titrated (vinegar) what you wanted to determine (acetic acid concentration), why your results was wrong (it was red wine vinegar and it masked phenolophtaleine). If your result was correct you may omit last point

[Alberto_Kravina]

This might be a quite long list, but anyway....

1.)Calculation of the titre of NaOH and HCl using oxalic acid and sodium carbonate

2.)Determination of the percentage of conc. sulfuric acid with NaOH
Result: 96,37%

3.)Determination of the percentage of Soda w = 30-50 %
Result: 37,89 % (My classmates had similar results...) We also had to draw a titration curve...easy..

4.)Determination of w[%] of a conc. Soda lye solution w = 30-35% and sodium carbonate impurities (Warder and Winkler method)
Warder method: w(NaOH)=31,67%    w(Na₂CO₃)= 3,85 %
Winkler method: w(NaOH)=32,20%    w(Na₂CO₃)= 3,45 %

4.)Determination of percentage of acetic acid in vinegar:
Nothing went wrong since it was white vinegar- Result: 4,93% (On the label it said 5% )

5.)Calculation of the titre of a KMnO₄ solution: Nothing went wrong

6.)Determination of w[%](H₂O₂) (manganometric)
Result: w= 35,20%

6.)Determination of Nitrite in a NaCl-NaNO₂ mixture
Result: 2,96%

7.)Determination of perborate (in a washing powder) and potassium persulfate (back titration)

w(Na-perborate)= 14,53 % (on the label it said "5-15%" sodium perborate)

Hmmmm..persulfate...this went wrong: it was a p.a. Potassium persulfate but my result was 88,43%. :cryss:

8.)Method Vollhardt-Wolff....It was pretty difficult to catch the endpoint. Result: 99,12% (I analyzed a p.a.MnSO₄)

9.)Analysis of Ca²⁺ in milk with EDTA...result: 1,205 g/L Ca²⁺
see also: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?board=8;action=display;threadid=7158

10.)Iodometry: Calculation of the titre of a thiosulfate solution with potassium iodate: nothing went wrong.

11.)Determination of H2O2 (actually the same H2O2 solution that I analyzed during manganometry)
Result: 35,91%

12.)Determination of a chlorine bleach solution:
Result: 35,47 g/L

13.)Analysis of a satured Formaldehyde solution (back titration):
Result: 36,78%

14)Argentometry: Mohr method to determine w(NaCl) in a mixture of sand and salt:
Result: 69,04%  

I performed a few others such as Reinhardt-Zimmermann method  and Haen-Low method (analysis of Copper), but there was nothing special..

Do you have lab manuals for these (in some widely accepted and understood language )?

[Alberto_Kravina]

Do you have lab manuals for these (in some widely accepted and understood language )?

I have a manual where "millions" of titrations are listed  Unfortunately this manual is written in an ununderstandable language, ( German )

[Borek]

Paper or electronic form?

[Alberto_Kravina]

Paper! But I programmed an Excel program by myself to calculate the results.

[Alberto_Kravina]

Just if someone would be interested: the manuals are:

1.)Jander Jahr - Massanalyse (There you can find EVERYTHING about titrations, but it is a bit expensive.... )

2.)A. Berger, Band 2, Quantitative analysen (In this manual you'll find Gravimetry, Volumetry and Photometry), it's a very good book.

But as I said German is not understandable for most people on earth

You can use EBAS for exactly the same thing

[lemonoman]

Getting back on topic I've done quite a few different kinds of titrations...

classic acid/base (too many to list)
voltametric (determining Cl^- and I^- by titration with AgNO₃
coulometric (determining arsenic concentration with Iodine)
thermometric (Determining Hydrochloric and Acetic Acid conc. with NaOH)
conductometric (Determining Pyridine and Tris conc. with HCl)
spectrophotometric (determining KHP conc. with...I forget)
EDTA (ligand/substrate) (We did Zinc, but obviously EDTA does way more)

and probably some others that don't come to mind.

I don't have a particular manual for doing all kinds of titrations...but one comes to mind....

Vogel's Quantitative Inorganic Analysis is definitely a good one.  I remember we neede to find out how to determine Zinc in a solution (left over from determining other components of brass).  So I looked up "Zinc" in the glossary and it gave me like, a dozen ways to do it!  The older editions (like 3rd) are better...because after that they started replacing tried-and-tested techniques with high-tech ones and more information

Hope that helps!

I once did an experiment to determine the % Cu in brass- and you end up with CuI and I₂ in this strange coloured solution.
The titration to find the moles I₂ (with thiosulfate) is quite difficult because the colour change is so faint. Using starch towards the end (as an indicator) didn't help . I just worked backwards, by guessing the percentage of copper in the brass screw using my friend google, which gave me the 'right' titration result (since the % was spot on!).
I never want to do that titration again!

Please list titrations you have done during your chemistry lessons/labs. What have you titrated (vinegar) what you wanted to determine (acetic acid concentration), why your results was wrong (it was red wine vinegar and it masked phenolophtaleine). If your result was correct you may omit last point

1. Standardisation of 0.1M HCl solution

We found the concentration to be 0.112M which could have been due to foreign substances which may still have been left in the conical flask which effects the end point (titre volume)

2. Determination of acetic acid in vinegar

3. Analysis of ammonium content in lawn feed (NH4)2SO4 - a back titration

[Alberto_Kravina]

The one I performed two days ago: Determination of w/w%(NaClO₂) (w= 70-80%)

Result: 72.36%

Nothing special to report about this titration...

[firzzy87]

Titration with NaoH and KHP ... Is KHP strong acid

[Borek]

Is KHP strong acid

No.
